The Poly Club took the stage at Oakland High School on Tuesday, April 28, when they performed elegant dances from various cultures such as Hawaiian, Fijian and Tongan to demonstrate the various dances in the Polynesian islands.

Students from Fremont and Castlemont high schools joined members of the OHS club on stage for the two hour-long performances. This month, the dancers will perform at Castlemont.
